Solution
₹ 2,92,000
Explanation:
| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Amount (₹) |
| General Reserve | 90,000 | |
| Less: Profit & Loss (Dr.) Balance | 36,000 | 1,02,000 |
| Less: Advertisement Suspense Account Loss on Revaluation | 6,000 | |
| Less: Actual Value of Stock | 60,000 | |
| Net Loss to be Debited to Capital Accounts | (12,000) |
Actual Value of Stock = `3,60,000 xx 100/120`
= ₹ 3,00,000
= 3,60,000 − 3,00,000
= ₹ 60,000
X’s share of Loss = `12,000 xx 2/3`
= ₹ 8,000
Balance of X’s Capital A/c = 3,00,000 − 8,000
= ₹ 2,92,000
